The "Ark" is a weird building built deep underground with three floors. Seven college students and couples with children came to explore. Unexpectedly, an earthquake occurred early the next morning. The exit was blocked by huge rocks and water rose from the ground. In 7 days, the entire ark would be submerged. The only way to escape from the Ark is to leave one person behind to operate the mechanism and let the boulder blocking the entrance fall. But the person left behind will be trapped underground forever and drown. At this moment, a murder occurred without warning. The murderer is naturally among these nine people. As for who he is, no one knows except the murderer.
By sacrificing one person, others can be saved.
Who is going to die? Are you going to die? I'm going to die?
Or - let the murderer die?
As death gradually approaches, the number of people in the Ark decreases one by one, and the morality on earth finally loses its restraint...

The classic Blizzard Villa mode, I just thought it was okay at first. It is a pretty good work. The main reason is that the reasoning content is a little shallow, and there is no amazing and shocking feeling. It was only worthy of 3 and a half to four stars. I didn't expect that the ending has a twist. The twist is not the method, but the motivation. It can be said that the motivation is played out. This ending at least elevates this book to a higher level. It is highly recommended.
I was curious as to how a few relatively ordinary cases without complicated and sophisticated secret room plots made this book top one on Douban's annual suspense list. It turns out that there is a twist in the ending!
Motivation reversal is really cool and very reasonable. While watching, I guessed who the murderer was. When I recalled everyone's words and deeds, I felt that there was something wrong with the murderer, but I still didn't think much about the method of committing the crime, because the environment was indeed very simple. Just like the detective character in the story said, when the clues are complicated, it is easier to find the thread. The cases in Ark are not complicated and very true. It is rare to think that this is the case for motive speculation, which also corresponds to the book's thinking about human nature.
The reasoning alone is a very rigorous and solid traditional reasoning, but the most powerful part of this work is indeed the murderer's shocking motive at the end. This reversal is so powerful. And it's not abrupt. When the murderer's conversations and thoughts were described in the early stage, I was moved. After reading the novel, I realized that everything was like this. . . All in all, highly recommended
It's very beautiful, worth watching, and contains a lot of foreshadowing. I think this is a work worthy of my second viewing!
"'The Ark' is not only a scare-box mystery novel that uses twists and turns as its charm, but it is also a simple and clear work with a lasting appeal."
Good news: I guessed the murderer right away.
Bad news: Might as well not guess.
There are reversals, the logic is clear and accurate, and it makes people's scalp numb when watching it at the end
My biggest feeling after reading this is: This kind of novel can really only be written by Japanese people.
The ending is super exciting, highly recommended
It's great, I really like the plot.
Oh my god, it looks so good, I was shocked.
Okay, just for the final reversal
I haven't read it yet, but the introduction gives me a feeling that it's a bit similar to Cai Jun's "Twenty-One Days", so I'll bookmark it first!
The plot is tense, the human nature is truly portrayed, and the ending is super twist [Like]
Yes, the overall framework has a clear introduction and interesting twists. It is worth reading.
The final twist is wonderful! It's been a long time since I've been surprised by a novel
A very charming novel, you will stop and think from time to time in the middle, and the ending is also reversed
The reasoning part is average, the reversal is good, and the motivation is first-rate.
The rhythm is tight, the plot is not cliche, and it is a rare short story.
The reversal of the ending is really unexpected, but very reasonable
The length is moderate, the plot is compact, and the ending is reversal. It is worth reading carefully!
It is a very pure and authentic reasoning that is quite interesting. If there is a reversal, it is within the acceptance. Many mystery novels are reversal for the sake of reversal. This one is quite natural.
